Even with the mail fraud charges the prosecutors will still have to prove Delaughter’s knowledge of the scheme. The emailed orders will all tend to corroborate the existence of a conspiracy, and Delaughter’s participation in it.

However, if a prosecutor wanted to know what I needed to convict as a juror, I am waiting for some evidence that Delaughter had knowledge of the existence of the conspiracy. The Mitchell story, which I didn’t see, comes very close to showing that Delaughter knew about the conspiracy. Possibly there was more said before the grand jury that incriminates Delaughter, I don’t know at this point. The key for me is Peters’ testimony, and possibly Scruggs, Langston, Balducci, maybe Zach maybe others? that tends to show Delaughter knew of the conspiracy.
